Tonight In Rock: Sparks, Thursday, Yo Majesty, Olin & the Moon

Sparks will be playing tonight at Royce Hall | Picture via Sparks' Myspace
Our Pick: Sparks @ Royce Hall
Tonight the Taste of Chaos tour will be coming through the Hollywood Palladium with New Jersey-based rockers Thursday in tow. Tampa's own all-female hip-hop duo Yo Majesty are slated to perform at the Echoplex. Local alt-rockers Olin & the Moon (LAist Interview) will be gracing Echo Curio with Next of Kin. And, lastly, we'd like to take this moment to remind you that you ought to enter to win tickets to see the LA Chamber Orchestra. But we strongly suggest heading over to UCLA's Royce Hall to catch LA's own chamber pop duo Sparks.
